New Stadium Details And Discussions

[THFCSPURS19]

People really taking any notice of what Simon@GUNNERforLife87/@Simon53767305 says. FFS.

Just realised there's an excellent unintentional Simon Says joke here. I was just mocking his username.

The two games on Oct. 6 (Bears/Raiders) and 13 (Panthers/Bucs) will be the first NFL games at the new Tottenham stadium.

I have nothing against NFL or any interest in it but if the Premier League decided to have a proper league game between Spurs and Man U game in New York I would imagine the uproar from both sets of fans would be tremendous. No consideration for the real fans etc etc.

What grade tipo would you recommend for an authentic Neapolitan base?

For flour?

A fairly strong and glutinous 00. Or a 0 for its glutinous qualities. If in England I would look for a 0 probably. Strength of the flour is an equally important aspect and if you want a perfect base it's worth doing your research and finding flours specifically made for Pizza.

Slightly different in that London is closer to the East coast of the US than the West Coast is to the East Coast.

None of our fans have ever had to travel anywhere near the distance some theirs would have to to go to away game.

That's true assuming that NFL fans travel in numbers to away matches but two of the NFL teams are losing home advantage by playing in London just wonder how their fans feel about it. If we were told to play a home game in New York and lose home advantage there would be a mass of protests.

This idea was proposed, the so called 39th game> Agree it will not work with football as teams are locally based not business franchises that just move wherever there is a market ... except for MK Dons and no doubt some owners will push for re-location in years to come

The FA have just penciled us in to play on the 6th and 13th October next season then

Club need to be really clever now about maximising our potential commercial opportunities in the states. We now have a massive advantage over the other PL clubs in terms of exposure.

See what happened when LaLiga wanted to host a game in the US.

How are you measuring that?

New York to London = 3400 miles

New York to San Francisco = 2570 miles.

Depends on the team - Oakland Raiders - they are already moving from Oakland to Las Vegas - losing a home game now is less of a big deal.

Looking at the home attendances of the teams "hosting" games abroad next season

Chargers - 32,768***
Buccaneers - 54,356*
Raiders - 57,919*
Jaguars - 66,674**
Rams - 72,429**


* Tottenham
** Wembley
*** Mexico City (100,000ish)

Every team will see an increase in attendance (and revenue).

Is the kick off times difference because of the time difference in the States? East coast 14:30 West coast 18:00

Not till next year but yeah they only have the crazies left and that group don't travel much.

 

[carmeldevil]

If you are inclined to go, I would pick Bears/Raiders game. Bears have a player with a chip on shoulder against the Raiders (google Khalil Mack for more details). The other game is meh to me.

You're talking about a sport that moves around depending on who the highest bidder is.

Its less that - and more trying to keep the kick-off times relatively normal in local time, while also allowing for TV in the states.

Typical kick-offs are at 1:00 and 4:00 ET (6 PM or 9 PM in London) 9 PM kickoff - on a Sunday night, when it won't be over for 3.5 hours - is really too late...

So, the Bear/Raiders game will be on at a normal time in the states (1 pm East Coast, 10 am West Coast). Carolina/Tampa will be on at 9:30 am on the East Coast, and nobody on the west coast will watch.
